First G6 Coupe I saw was a decked out black one.
Aside from the gotta-grow-on-me-a-little back end, I think the car is gorgeous.

It looks like a 350z and a Solara ran into each other, and somehow the rearends of both vehicles were spliced together.

hmm....when I look at the rear 3/4 view I see the new eclipse. And I must agree, proportion IS everything...

Re: So the G6 coupe is pretty odd looking in person...

I've seen a Black GTP and a Daytona Sunset GT, I like the coupe better than the sedan. I think the coupe has better lines than the sedan, something about the sedan in the side and rear just doesn't look right to me. I don't see the ungainlyness thats been talked about in the coupe, though the styling isn't really anything new. I agree with the 350Z/Sorla/Celica blend. I'd really like to test drive a 6speed GTP.

Is the panoramic sunroof available on the coupe? Or do you have to opt for the convert/hardtop.

The fourth gen's rear overhang was functional: it was largely dictated by the need to fit the spare tire longitudinally behind the rear wheel. Because of the placement of the gas tank over the rear axle, there was almost no other place to put the spare without taking a huge bite out of what little cargo area the car already had.

I really like the coupe. Yeah, its LWB chassis does give it that stretched look, which is better executed with the sedan. Very coupeish...very BMWish.

The taillights could stand to be modified a little IMO, but overall I like it quite a bit. I think they look excellent in black or that gray color.

I think it is Pontiac's best looking car since the Trans-Am. I would definitly pick one up as a daily driver. GTP would be great.
